Cabin 8718 · Harmony of the Seas

Cabin 8718 is an Ocean View Balcony on Harmony of the Seas, 182 to 198 square feet plus a private balcony of 42 to 55 square feet.

Cabin 8718 is an Ocean View Balcony on Deck 8 of Harmony of the Seas, well aft. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. This far aft you may also pick up a hum from the propellers, usually at night when the ship is making speed between ports. Some people never notice it, others find it soothing, a few cannot ignore it. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

The nearest is Dazzles, and that is 18 cabins away down the corridor. Quiet, at the cost of a few minutes each way. Dazzles, the two deck lounge aft, spanning decks 8 and 9 with a wall of glass over the wake. Live bands and themed dance nights. Worth knowing: runs late, and it is a dance venue rather than a quiet lounge. Aft cabins on the decks below hear the bass more than the band. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Of the 168 cabin positions on Deck 8, this is the 154th from forward. You share Deck 8 with Giovanni's Italian Kitchen, Giovanni's Wine Bar, Rising Tide Bar and Trellis Bar. There are 325 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a long walk end to end.

The Ocean View Balcony grade runs 182-198 square feet. The balcony adds another 42-55 on top of that. A balcony buys you outside space of your own and, on sea days, somewhere to sit that is not the pool deck. It is the step up most people make, and the one they find hardest to give up again.

On loyalty, this is a standard grade, so Crown and Anchor credits its base one cruise point a night. There are exactly two ways to double that: move up to a suite, or sail on your own on a double occupancy fare. Either pays two a night, and doing both pays three. Checked against the line's own published terms on 8 September 2026.

Against the rest of the ship it is quieter than 91 per cent of the 2,878 cabins on board and further from the action than most. It suits light sleepers.
